Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

The Babadook is essentially one of those "artsy" horror films, to the point where you'd almost call it a Dramatic Thriller. This movie does not use obnoxious music or jump scares to get you, it's more methodical and about 70% of it is Drama. The rest is pretty scary.Plot- It's about a grieving widow taking care of her dysfunctional son, who begins to talk about this imaginary friend called The Babadook. The boy later tell his mom that he found him in a book of the same name, which the mother doesn't recall ever owning. About halfway through, the tension built really starts to settle in, and there are very memorable scary moments. The ending was intense, but the resolution will leave you asking "How is that even realistic?" or "Why did that solve the problem?" Writing- This movie is written very well in a sense that you feel the way the main character does. There aren't too many calm scenes that you'll walk away with, but all of it is realistic aside maybe some people constantly bringing up the dead husband to the widow. Acting/Characters- The acting was great, the movie is in an anxious kind of realm so it can be hard to really make every actor stand out. The Babadook itself was scary as hell although you just barely see it's silhouette.Quality- The film is shot perfectly I'd say, one of the cinematography jobs in a recent Horror film. The way they maintain the same consistency of shot length is so smart in terms of actually scaring you, since you never know when something is building up to that moment. The mood is well executed through visuals, some scattered music, and convincing actors. Overall I downgraded this from 10 because the ending is a big "shrug" moment, and it's almost too boring- almost. But the scary parts, as well as the build up to those parts make the film worth watching. A good movie to watch if you want a tame Horror film.

This movie was a waste of time, I watched with a friend at a sleepover. We both agreed that we should've gone with my suggestion of hush. The scariest thing was when the book "came back from the dead" after she tore it up. The only reason we kept watching was because we wanted to see what would be written in the book. Quite frankly, I did not think this movie should be considered a horror movie. If you would like to watch it even after reading this review oh well, it's your funeral. Just make sure your headstone has "Died of boredom" as the cause of death.

This is an excellent story of a mother going through a mental breakdown with horror elements put in. Some very creepy moments in this film but the ending was a bit disappointing. Great performance from the mum in this film and be warned her son can be a little annoying. 8/10

...or youll have to pay me.what if, in the "next film" The babadook kills off the mom, making her be with her husband. since the child is the one who couldnt let the babadook not bother him, the mother and the father haunt him until hes old and grey and in an asylum?
